Rebecca Spooner

Rebecca Spooner, creator of Gather 'Round Homeschool, owner of Homeschoolon.com, author of Journal Me Organized and More Than Words Bible curriculum from Master Books, and speaker. She is a second generation homeschool mom of 5.

With a picture in her head of what she wanted homeschooling to be, Rebecca then discovered reality was far from it and then the real tragedy happened: She bought the lie, that picture perfect wasn't possible. Homeschooling was just going to be chaotic and messy and stressful and hard and she had to accept it and grit her teeth and survive.

But the thing is, the Bible talks about life and life ABUNDANT! Having always felt that God called her to homeschool her kids, and believing that He desires it to be something that brings them together as a family, something that is fun and full of life and joy and peace and curiosity and adventures together.

Surviving on coffee and Jesus, Rebecca says she does NOT have all the answers, but does have experience and will freely share what she hopes will be helpful to someone else on their journey. Come take a peek inside Rebecca's chaotic life and join in a vision to focus less on perfection and instead Keep Calm and Homeschool On!

Yes, on regular adult tickets! Members will have received a discount code by email. We ask that you resist the urge to share the code with friends. We will be checking to make sure that those that use the code are current RVHEA members. There are no discounts at the door, and no further discounts on Full Time Pastors.

No catch. At RVHEA we want to make sure that you both can come enjoy the day together. When you fill in your registration, go ahead and sign your spouse up too. (Sorry, your BFF doesn't count)

No need to print anything out. When you arrive you will check in at registration to pick up your name tag. For faster check-in, consider downloading the Eventbrite app (IOS) (Android) onto your phone and/or having your confirmation email ready to scan.

RVHEA loves children, but please arrange for offsite child care. The minimum age of attendees is 13 as of December 31, 2025. Youth must be accompanied by an adult (parent or another responsible adult). Nursing babies are welcome, and there will be a quiet room available.

Church parking is limited, so carpooling is encouraged. City of Ottawa By-law requires that cars parked on the street must be moved every 3 hours. We have permission to park in the Farm Boy parking lot. If you are asked, say that you are attending a conference at Kanata Baptist Church.
